    Default This weekends projects

    So here it is, Friday night, some of the wittiest posters on the board are online and there is no activity.

    So what does everybody have planned for their weekend?

    For myself, I don't have any WW projects on the go at the moment but am hoping to get to the Kiama woodshow on Sunday to have a look at Greg Ward's cedar and rosewood.

    How about youse?

    Aw geees Craig,

    Well....

    I'm not going to finish the toy boat, the dust extraction, the little hold everything with plastic drawer thingos for the shed, the router table upgrade, the boat racks, or for that matter a dozen other projects that I'll do something on.

    I moved half a metre of gravel this arv, so I'm not going to do that either.

    With a bit of luck I'll catch up with Mr Willson and we'll *****(interesting bit of censoring here, I'm sure I didn't say anything rude!) about his chest plans for a while, might even not quite finish the template for the ends.

    Come the evening, Mrs Midge will be in Bris at some sort of function called a "Hen's night" whatever that is, presumably getting clucky with her daughter's one week out from the wedding, so I'll just log on here with some pics of some unfinished bits of the garage I reckon.

    Sunday, I'll not finish a heap of other stuff, but it's too far away to even think what that may be!!

    Cheers,

    P

    Goolwa Wooden Boat Show is on this weekend
    It's stinkin' hot :mad:
    I've the got kids
    So, standing around in the heat talking boats to boring old farts like me sounds great until you factor in a bored four year old ... and probably the bored 12 year old as well.
    At least it's so hot the lad's cricket match has been cancelled.

    Ah well, I'll probably go down one day and glue the seats into Redback the other.

    Cheers
    Richard

    Its a long weekend in Melbourne this weekend. So I'll have an extra day where I won't finish the projects I've started. I'll get a little bit further on the storage bench for the shed but not too far. I probably won't get to painting the rest of the garden shed. The ducting for the DC will probably wait for a while. I've got 2 cubic metres of red gum firewood to stack, mow the front lawn, lay some reticulation in a garden bed, connect the water tank to the shed roof and finish the edging on another garden bed. Don't know if I'll get to any of them.

    The only thing that I'm sure I will do is spend a great deal of time procrastinating.
    Probably 1/3 more procrastinating this weekend then I would on a normal weekend.

    Looking forward to it.

    Yeah, I could dump them if I wanted to. But though my son lives with me, I only have him every second weekend, and I only have my daughter half time, again with every second weekend. So, with Sod's version of the 50/50 rule, of course the boat show is my weekend WITH them. I'd rather do something with the kids than dump them - besides, it's all part of appreciating Daddy. I had to put up with my Dad boring me to tears with his mates, so they bloody well can too

    Cheers

    Had today off, did bugre all, just a bit of shed cleaning up, moved the drill press, cleared the bench. Got around to buying a new (smaller) pump for the aquarium, hopefully the kids' goldfish can manage to stick around a bit longer with the gentler water flow. The things we do...

    Working the weekend...

    Then Monday off.

    Vegetating on Mk 2 of a router planing jig, so will try to hit that Monday.


    Cheers...........Sean, rostered day on


    The beatings will continue until morale improves.
